tmlk Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 We are now the proud owners of one green eglu, one Buff Orpington and a Pekin Bantam And have spent all afternoon watching them get aquainted with their new home and grass! And Pinkie mothering Super-Chick! We are going back in 4 weeks to collect an blue egg laying hybrid, to add when Super-Chick is big enough ( as suggested at the chicken suppliers)... Was wondering if i can only use one colour in sign off as i have(hopefully) managed to write Pinkie in Pink... but wanted Super-Chick in red? but it doesnt seem to let us do it?

Blackrocksrock Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Well done for the chooks and the eglu - not a hope with the technie side I am afraid but someone will come to your rescue in the not too distant future I am sure of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Where are the photos? No, I think you can use lots of colours. Just right it out as a post, then copy and paste it into your signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novice Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 We are now the proud owners of one green eglu, one Buff Orpington and a Pekin Bantam And have spent all afternoon watching them get aquainted with their new home and grass! And Pinkie mothering Super-Chick! Hi there - I'm a lady in waiting still, my is due towards the end of July but I'm dithering about which breed to get as I'd like a bit of garden friendliness... I love your choice of girls, a buff orpington and a little Pekin. Did they know each other before they arrived or did you introduce them and can the big girl get into the Eglu ... I was told they'd be to big ! Just seen your photos - wonderful ! My concern now is the size of little pekin, sorry Super Chick, is a bit dainty and attractive to my cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMWARDFARM Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I agree with the cats situation I have just got 4 Pekin bantam chicks and put them in my the cats are fascinated and keep eying them up, so I will be interested how the cats are when the babes are fully grown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmlk Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Well i had my heart set on an Orpy, but my husband wanted a Bantam and the place we went to had these two chicks! They said they would get on fine as the Orpy is still small(12 wks approx), i was very concerned on the way home as in their transport cage you could really see the size difference and Pinkie kept sitting almost on top of Super! But once home they have been fine, I think Pinkie thinks she has a little Chick, she is very motherly they are always snuggling together and Super tucked under Pinkie's wing! She is always concerned when Super is taken out(for cuddles or to be put to bed) Pinkie has no trouble getting in and out, Super needed help getting in but is flying out she is only 4-6 weeks though so will hopefully get bigger soon! They were from the same place but not together as Super was still inside. They had a fullgrown Orpington there though, the houses they had there were smallish wooden arcs and they said that size would suit her so i think she will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonfamily Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 They are so cute... I knew this chicken keeping would get addictive. I so want a bantam chick now and we only got our Eglu last saturday and 3 hens. Its very addictive.. but i love it. Keep us updated with more cute pics x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
